Here is my first tutorial. Hope it is useful and it teaches you something. I didn't wanted to render the drawing till i made a clone because i'm tired and sleepy and i don't think that thing would have counted. The basic steps are there and it's matter to you how much you want to render. Thank you

I learned that in 3d technology it becomes unrealistic light in some matters (at clear cuts for example light doesnt react that way in reality because edges are not that much of a clean cut on anatomic level so you have to adjust some shaders) but for sure this is a clever use of workflow

I guess its cool as long as you really try to memorize this things and work without it from time to time at least, I would try so for my own (dis)satisfaction ^-^thanks for sharing

Wow! You really captured him! Excellent work.I think for me, portrait drawing is always the most difficult stuff....also your other recent portrait works are great.It would be nice to see the original photos of them....

it's a very good idea and above all it was mine) i have came up with it when i was trying to paint a character lighten from the back and i couldn't because i didn't had a reference with that sort of lighting. then all the rest is history) i have saved about 30 lighting situations that can be pulled of for reference at any time.. now i just want to find a female head to do the same process. thanx

many thanx but this is not what i am looking for. the z-brush default guy was sculpted very good and you can see those planes that i was talking about very well. i'm looking for a model more like this [link]
